Overview
The Anti-HBeAb test, also known as the Hepatitis B e-Antibody test, is a blood test used to assess the stage of a hepatitis B infection. It detects antibodies against the hepatitis B e-Antigen (HBeAg), which is a protein produced by the virus during active replication. A positive Anti-HbeAb test result suggests that the virus is less active or potentially inactive, which can help monitor chronic hepatitis B and determine treatment effectiveness.
